I'm pleased to welcome Ryan P. Shovlin as legal counsel and executive director of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Attorney Shovlin is the son of Dr. Joseph P. Shovlin and Lisa B. Shovlin of Clarks Summit. He's a graduate of Abington Heights High School, Bucknell University and Temple University’s Beasley School of Law. He served as a Deputy District Attorney in Dauphin County. Attorney Shovlin’s prosecutorial experience and extensive dealings with individuals across the criminal justice system will be a tremendous asset.

Josh Shapiro and Austin Davis were sworn in as Pennsylvania’s 48th governor and 35th lieutenant governor yesterday. Governor Shapiro delivered a speech that was forceful and inclusive. He identified several priority issues for which there is bipartisan support Based on his experience as a state Representative, county commissioner, and attorney general, our expectation is that he will be more respectful of differing viewpoints and more considerate of community interests. That has been my impression when we have worked on issues such as opioid abuse and justice for abuse victims. We have a lot of work to do in education, health care, public safety, justice, protection of rights, and other issue areas that require clear thinking and the ability to bring together disparate interests toward solid solutions. The manner in which he has assembled a representative cabinet and leadership team sends a positive signal that this administration will try to build bridges with the General Assembly, and his selections from northeastern Pennsylvania, Major Chris Paris as the Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner, and former Representative Mike Carroll PennDOT Secretary, will serve our area well. #inaguration #pasenate

No matter how many times I take the oath of office, it is a solemn and a humbling occasion. Upholding the Constitution and representing so many people and communities with fidelity and integrity are serious responsibilities. There is optimism about the possibilities for constructive action with a new administration and many new legislators taking office, alongside a renewed commitment to achieving a better record of productive and practical reform. I am grateful for the trust and support the people have extended.

Franco Harris was a champion on and off the football field. He will be forever remembered by fans of the Penn State Nittany Lions and the Pittsburgh Steelers for his endurance and his unique ability to rise to the occasion. But his memory will be equally cherished by the many civic groups and charitable efforts to which he devoted energy for so many years. It was a distinct pleasure to meet and talk with him when he came to the state Senate last year. The man who made the Immaculate Reception lived an inspirational and impactful life.

From our home to yours, wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving! 🦃🍁

This season of Thanksgiving offers us a welcome opportunity to reflect upon the cornucopia of advantages of life in America, which we enjoy and share with others.

It is sometimes easy to overlook the many blessings we have in our lives and the many positive interactions we have with each other.

We are grateful for those who came before us and handed down the wonderful traditions of this holiday season and the freedom to fully experience them.

We are grateful for the family, friends, and neighbors who daily demonstrate the virtues of life in a caring community.

We are grateful for the professionals and volunteers who contribute talent and time to making our lives safer, healthier, and more productive.

We are grateful to all who strive to preserve and protect our fundamental array of remarkable freedoms set forth in the Bill of Rights.

We are grateful for those who encourage us to reach for our better angels in dealing with an increasingly diverse region, state, and nation.

We are grateful for all who help to care for, nurture, and instruct our children and grandchildren.

As Veterans’ Day reminds, we are fortunate to have so many men and women dedicated to the service and sacrifice of protecting our freedoms.

I extend best wishes to you and those around you to have an uplifting, comforting, and joyful Thanksgiving.

Providing increased support for crime victims has been one of my top legislative priorities. I was proud to join Representative Aaron Kaufer, The PA District Attorneys Association, the PA Association for Justice, and other advocates, for the signing ceremony of Act 134 of 2022. This legislation, known as the Criminal History Records Information Act, allows criminal justice agencies to release investigative information for crime victims. I am pleased that this new bill will make it easier for crime victims to obtain relevant information learned by law enforcement during the investigation of the crime, in order for crime victims to use that information in subsequent civil legal actions to recover damages for their injuries.

As part of the new Senate Republican Caucus leadership team for the 2023-24 legislative session, today, I was appointed by Interim Senate President Pro Tempore Kim Ward to serve as the Senate Majority Caucus Administrator.

I am honored to be appointed to serve as a member of the Senate Republican Leadership team for the 2023-24 session. Being the sole member from the northeastern portion of our state, I will have the chance to be an even stronger voice for the communities that I am privileged to represent. I am excited about this new opportunity to help determine the General Assembly’s agenda and engage in bipartisan work to accomplish results for the people of Pennsylvania.

Veterans Day is not a 24-hour, once-and-done chance to honor veterans. The truth is we should acknowledge, salute, and thank veterans every day. Pennsylvania has 13 million people calling the commonwealth home and over one million are veterans.

I was honored to take part in The Wyoming Area School District 's Veterans Day Program, yesterday, and Northwest High School Veterans Day Program, today. Just as veterans are special in our eyes, young people are special in their eyes and represent the future they helped to ensure. Our veterans are a blessing for whom we are deeply grateful.

Gray skies yesterday certainly didn’t dampen the enthusiasm or crowds for this years Wyoming Valley Veterans Day Parade. Great to spend time with Rep. Aaron Kaufer and County Council Members Leeann McDermott and Matt Mitchell. It is always a privilege to come together to honor the brave men & women who wear the uniform of service for our country. 🇺🇸
